Beautiful, hopeful, aspirational novel about the giving economy. We should all read one chapter each day, over and over, until this nightmare is over.

“All flourishing is mutual.”
“We don‘t all have to own everything.”

A lovely little book singing the praises of libraries and the “gift economy” with examples from nature. A beautiful volume full of lovely illustrations of cedar waxwings and plants. Very slim, but does its job perfectly. A wonderful reminder to spread the wealth and as always from Kimmerer, keep our natural environment in mind.

From cover to cover, you have to admire the layout and the illustrations. Subtitled, Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World is the text. The writer acknowledges that we have to have some consumerism to pay the bills, but that if we combine that with a gift economy, we will live in an infinitely better world. The Serviceberry is the example of the gift economy used throughout. Robin Wall Kimmerer is our collective conscience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
